How to keep the accounting of your business well?

Accounting obligations and knowledge: what any entrepreneur should know

To properly maintain your commercial accounts, it is essential to identify your accounting obligations. These vary according to the tax regime and the legal form of your company. The more its structure develops, the more technical accounting it becomes.

In Micro -reprise, simplicity remains the rule: only maintain a income book, complemented by a purchasing record for commercial activities. Therefore, there is no inventory or accounting balance. The microentrenator can very easily manage their daily accounts.

For all other legal forms, the most rigorous possession of accounts is mandatory. More specifically, it includes: Registration in the chronological order of accounting documents and movements in the company’s account, the edition of invoices, an annual inventory and the establishment of annual accounts at the end of the financial year (evaluation, results statement, appendix).

In this case, it is necessary to know well your accounting and tax calendar and anticipate the different deadlines. The fiscal site indicates all the deadlines of the month per month and provides an annual summary calendar (indicating the deadlines for the year of the creation of the company and those that during the following years).

It is good to know: To continue and carry out all its accounting obligations, it may be useful to resort to an accountant with charter. Although resorting to its functions is not mandatory, the latter may provide the Administration with accounting documents and standardized taxes. Therefore, experts in LS Comptta can help you in this process.

Organization and support: Keys for successful accounts

In accounting, regularity is the golden rule. It is advisable to register its operations every week, instead of waiting for the end of the year. Follow continuous accounts allows you to monitor your payments, declare VAT without stress and avoid making mistakes that could be expensive in case of control.

The organization is also essential. By rigorously classifying documents (purchases, sales, taxes, etc.) and by dematerializing them, save time and ensures their support documents.

Do you have to go through a counter to keep your accounts? The answer is clear: no, it is not mandatory. The law requires regular accounting, but does not require the use of a professional.
